[storaz01]

Hi all,
Just found this on the scramble message board, maybe some of you didn't see it already.

www.salon-du-bourget.fr/presse/pdf/Liste_Aeronefs.xls

There is a provisional list of what we could expect there...

bye, Michael

[Vonsmalhausen]

thx for the list
the A380 is listed as to be presented "in flight"
that's gonna be hell of a job to bring this monster from and to his "static" place and the rwy ;D

Yes , it will be indeed hard to move it from the static to the runway , was already difficult some years ago with the A340-600 and I think it's still early to confirm if the A380 will fly , the first flight will take place at the end of this week

[storaz01]

Well, it expected to take off tomorrow morning at 10am... so we will see. ;D
